Smash AU · Australia's social badminton platform

One badminton game, every way to join.

Players find and book social sessions in the Smash app, on the web, in a WeChat Mini Program or from a WhatsApp link. Organisers run recurring paid sessions with waitlists, payment tracking and finance tools. Every registration, waitlist place and payment lands in one shared backend — so a spot taken in WeChat is gone in the app a moment later.

The Smash app on a phone: the Discover list of live badminton sessions and the Courts view with a venue map

01 The problem

Social badminton in Australia mostly runs on group chats and spreadsheets — especially in the Chinese-speaking community.

01

Sign-ups in a chat chain

Players reply "+1" in a WeChat or WhatsApp group; the organiser copies names into a spreadsheet and hopes nobody is missed.

02

Waitlists that break

When someone drops out, who's next? With messages scrolling past, the answer is whoever notices first.

03

Chasing payments

Bank transfers arrive with random references, and matching them to players eats the organiser's evening.

02 Features

Screens from the live app (public session listings only) and the Smash website.

For organisers

Run sessions without spreadsheets

Registrations, waitlist, payments and finance in one dashboard

What it does — create an event once and share it everywhere. The Organiser Centre shows who's in, who's waiting and who has paid, and the finance tools work out each session's profit.

  • Check-in, manual registration, bulk edit, archive and cancel
  • Regular rosters, with paste-in import from a chat list
  • "Book me into the next one" — players roll into the next session in a series automatically
  • Finance and analytics: a per-event profit calculator plus income and cost trends
Four ways to join the same game
Every channel

What it does — the same session can be joined from the app, a public web link, the WeChat Mini Program or a WhatsApp link — and every channel writes to the same registration list.

  • WeChat Mini Program: sign up yourself and companions, join the waitlist and upload a payment proof — no app install
  • Live headcount updates while the event page is open
  • Organisers can manage their events from inside WeChat after binding their Smash account

  • Row-level securityPlayers see their own registrations; organisers see their own events; admins see across.
  • Role-based accessPlayer, organiser, venue owner, coach and admin, enforced in the API and in the UI.
  • Moderated contentNames, avatars and payment proofs pass WeChat's content checks; unchecked content is never shown to others.
  • Your data, your callSelf-serve account deletion, and a published privacy policy.
